Anita Brockhouse

I believe workplace disputes should be approached with integrity, fairness and empathy. As an Employment Advocate, I bring a practical, balanced approach to helping both employees and employers navigate what can often be complex and challenging employment situations.

Having originally worked in the corporate business world and high level management, I bring valuable insight into workplace relationships, organisational decision making and the practical realities businesses and employees face. I believe real world experience is essential when resolving employment disputes. While understanding employment law is important, appreciating how workplaces operate, how people interact and how decisions affect those involved is equally valuable and can sometimes be overlooked.

I have successfully negotiated outcomes for clients through mediation, settlement discussions, disciplinary processes and represented clients before the Employment Relations Authority (ERA). Whether raising or responding to a personal grievance, navigating a difficult workplace issue or preparing for a formal hearing, I aim to provide clear advice, practical guidance and committed advocacy at every stage.

My focus is on ensuring people feel heard, understand their options and are supported to make informed decisions. I believe the best approach combines sound knowledge of employment processes with real life experience, common sense and an understanding of the people behind each dispute.
